hi mare, my afghan is going great!!! i love how it is turning out. i cast on 160 sts and each square is 8 so i'm making 20 squares. i have no idea how big it will be. i'm too lazy to take it out and put it on waste yarn to see the actual width (crazy i know!) at first i thought it was so confusing when i was reading the pattern but once you actually start it, you start to see how it goes together. but once you get the hang of it, its really simple! the tutorial i used is EXCELLENT. I dont think i could have gotten it right without it. I have been pretty busy all week to take a pic but i will try my best to take one tomorrow and post it so you can see my progress.
